“Cremation Nation” or “Cremations are Burning Up”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/05/cremation-becoming-more-popular-/1

The Cremation Association of North America reports a steady increase in the number of cremations, up to more than 50,000 last year. One demographic that is not succumbing to the popularity of the trend: the living.

The rise in its popularity is being attributed to environmental considerations, a cheaper cost than a burial, and the recent innovation of the non-dairy cremation for the lactose intolerant.

Though some people are not impressed with the results of being cremated, others have truly been blown away.
